MAURY, LOUIS FERDINAND ALFRED (18171892)

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 916 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAR-MEC
MAURY, LOUIS FERDINAND ALFRED (18171892) , French scholar, was born at Meaux on the 23rd of
March
  1817. In 1836, having completed his education, he entered the Bibliotheque Nationale, and afterwards the Bibliotheque de 1'Institut (1844), where he devoted himself to the study of archaeology, ancient and modern languages,
medicine
  and law. Gifted with a
great
  capacity for
work
 , a remarkable memory and an unbiassed and
critical
  mind, he produced without
great
  effort a number of learned pamphlets and books on the most varied subjects. He rendered great service to the Academic des
Inscriptions
  et Belles Lettres, of which he had been elected a member in 1857.
Napoleon
  III. employed him in research
work
  connected with the Histoire de Cesar, and he was rewarded, proportionately to his active, if modest, part in this work, with the positions of librarian of the Tuileries (186o), professor at the College of France (x862) and director-general of the Archives (1868). It was not, however, to the imperial favour that he owed these high positions. He used his influence for the advancement of science and higher education, and with
Victor
  Duruy was one of the founders of the Ecole des Hautes Etudes. He died at Paris four years after his retirement from the last post, on the 11th of February 1892.
Grke antique, (3 vols.., 18571859) ; La Magie et l'astrologie clans l'antiquite et clans le moyen age (1863) ; Histoire de l'ancienne academie des sciences (1864); Histoire de l'Academie des
Inscriptions
  et Belles Lettres (1865); a learned
paper
  on the reports of French archaeology, written on the occasion of the universal exhibition (1867); a number of articles in the Encyclopedie moderne (1846185r),inMichaud's Biographie universelle (1858 and seq.), in the Journal des savants in the Revue des deux mondes (1873, 1877, 18791880, &c.). A detailed bibliography of his works has been placed by Auguste Longnon at the beginning of the volume Les Croyances et legendes du moyen age.
